As a result of the ridiculous
“Red Line” talk which began in earnest last year, Obama and his puppet
counterparts in Britain and France as well as the ever present Mad Dog of the
Middle East, Israel, have repeated the threats of military action against Syrian
on numerous occasions, most notably after reports of the Regime’s use of
chemical weapons against the Syrian people or the death squads also known as the
Syrian “rebels.” Of course, in every single case, the evidence clearly suggests
that it was the death squads, not Assad, who used the chemical agents against
Syrian soldiers and innocent civilians. Likewise, the latest “chemical weapons
attack” appears to be the handiwork of the death squads, with even mainstream
experts questioning the veracity of the claims surrounding the Syrian
government’s culpability.

Regardless, the plan to attack Syria is moving
forward.

On Friday, August 24, 2013, it was reported by a variety of mainstream sources that the US Navy
has begun repositioning itself in the Mediterranean for the possibility of a
military assault on Syria. An anonymous defense official has stated that the US
Navy is expanding its presence in the Mediterranean from three destroyers to
four.

Commenting on the move, Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel stated
that “The Defense Department has the responsibility to provide the president
with options for all contingencies. And that requires positioning our forces,
positioning our assets, to be able to carry out different options – whatever
options the president might choose.”

However, the move to actually reposition forces
is much more of a sign pointing toward military action than a mere consideration
of the fact. Considering your next move is one thing. Actually moving the pieces
is quite another.

The New York Times was slightly more forthcoming than
merely reporting the repositioning of one Navy destroyer. The news agency wrote,

Among the options discussed at the White House,
officials said, was a cruise missile strike, which would probably involve
Tomahawks launched from a ship in the Meditteranean Sea, where the United States
has two Destoyers deployed.

The Pentagon also has combat aircraft – fighters and
bombers – deployed in the Middle East and in Europe that could be used in an air
campaign against Syria. The warplanes could be sent aloft with munitions to be
launched from far outside Syrian territory, which is protected by a respectable
air defense system.

The targets could include missile or artillery
batteries that launch chemical weapons or nerve gas, as well as communications
and support facilities. Symbols of the Assad government’s power – headquarters
and government offices – also could be among the proposed targets, officials
said.

Yet
while the American forces are lining up for military action, the Russian Foreign
Ministry is standing firm in its rejection of Western propaganda and attempts to
demonize the Syrian government. For instance, on Friday, the Russian Foreign Ministry stated:

Against the background of another anti-Syrian wave of
propaganda, we believe calls from some European countries to apply pressure on
the UN Security Council and already now take a decision on the use of force are
unacceptable.

The Foreign Ministry also stated that more and more
evidence was appearing which indicates that the attack was “clearly provocative
in nature” and pointed out that the video footage which was posted online to
incriminate the Syrian government was actually posted before the chemical attack
took place. Russia also stated that the death squads were "directly impeding an
objective investigation."

As I have stated on numerous occasions, the plans
to attack the secular and sovereign nation of Syria have been in the works
since at least 2005. Aside from the moral implications associated with military
action, the inevitable collision with Russia and China resulting from such a
decision is one in which the entire world might very well become engulfed. There
is only a small window of opportunity available for the Western world to get off
of their Path to Persia. It is imperative that they do so
now.
